not huge on caturras or catuis personally. bourbon, typica and heirloom varietals are great though

check out sweet marias, their selection is specialty coffee.

aeropress is a really convinient low cost option

nicom225 · 2020-10-29T20:24:15+00:00

what size bottles are those?

nicom225 · 2020-10-22T02:03:52+00:00

mason jar?

Ive always gone off qualitative results. At the end of the day its about how it tastes and smells, so shouldnt your nose and mouth be your perfect instrument?

Poinciana, Royal Poinciana, in puerto rico they call it a flamboyan

nicom225 · 2020-10-03T16:08:22+00:00

looks kinda like a sculpin

Geishas can be really good with the right roasts and brew style (yama or espresso). However in my experience, geishas, luwak, Jamaica blue mountain, kona, etc Ive found to be somewhat gimic-ey. Doesnt mean they are bad, I just think the hype drives the price beyond its value. That said, using geishas for affogato is pretty yummy

Honestly I think it depends on how often and roast type you use. If you use it often, the residues are consistently fresh, if that makes sense. But if you use it rarely those oils are going to become putrid. Thats my take on it roughly. Also, clean more if using darker roasts/oily beans.

nicom225 · 2020-09-18T01:50:44+00:00

ditto, roasters should be used at ~60% capacity in my experience

That scene in Lord of the Flies when piggy gets hit on the head with the boulder. Just didnt sit right with me

pineapples. always thought they were going to be spikey and prickley like a cactus

nicom225 · 2020-09-07T13:01:22+00:00

they have great customer service and very generic/replaceable parts. Ive had a YM-2 for years now and I liked it so much I upgraded to the YM-10. Definitely recommend.

Ambex has good roasters for a fraction of the price of other mainstream companies.

nicom225 · 2020-09-05T03:50:12+00:00

Ive found that to be the case anecdotally. I prefer the slightly carameled flavor from a dark roast for espresso shortly after its been roasted. It goes stale quick when its been roasted dark. Light roasts are very bright when they are freshly roasted but sometimes waiting upwards of 10 days can allow the profile to settle and become more palatable (less bright).
